The Virginia attorney general's race was a dead heat last night and is headed for a recount this morning.
Republican State Senator Mark Obenshain clings to a 778-vote lead over Democrat Mark Herring. Virginia election law lets the trailing candidate request a state funded recount if the vote difference is less that 1 percent.
